There has been a widespread problem with VW mechatronics units leading to thousands of VWs being recalled in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan. However, despite the fact that UK-built VWs use the same specification DQ200 gearbox as the Australian-built cars, with the units also built in the same factory, there have been no recalls in the UK. I am therefore interested to know who like myself may have had to replace their mechatronics unit and how old your car is? Would appreciate your input as I am wondering if there is a problem which VW UK is not acknowledging?

Have a GTE Golf 2015 but only just over 50k on it - Bought off Kia last year so complicated the whole process - After taking to 2 Kia garages for an engine warning light, been to VW 3 times and now they have taken the gear box out - Say its the Metronics but in their view better to replace the whole gear box at a cost of 10k I have a warranty that covers 6.5k leaving me 3.5k short - Who should pay this - Kia as the problem started a few months after I bought it and since continued - Still driving it ok which has not helped getting anything sorted.. VW or the warranty company ? Note left myself out of the choices.
